®Analog Level MetersThese meters monitor analog input and output. For more on meters refer to Section 3.TSE™ Audio Level MetersThese meters monitor the level of Tape Saturation Emulation. Refer to Type IV™ in Section 3.LCD DisplayThe large LCD display shows the program, curve, digital meters, parameters, and modulesselected by the function buttons and the DATA WHEEL.Data Wheel / SelectorThe DATA WHEEL changes selected parameters, programs, etc. Pushing the DATA WHEELmoves the cursor from parameter to parameter.Function ButtonsThe function buttons allow access to the programs, modules, utilities, and parameters of theQUANTUM.Power SwitchTurns the QUANTUM on and off.The Curve WindowAfter you have chosen a program, you may want to change some of the parameters to meetyour specific needs. One of the most useful tools available on the QUANTUM for setting up aproper compression curve is the curve window. In the curve window you can see the com-bined effects of dynamics-related parameters expressed in a graphical format. The figure belowshows the different parts of the curve window you will see as you edit the gate, compressor,and limiter functions of the QUANTUM.Parametermeasurementunits Type IV™conversionindicatorGain Reduction meter3 parametersper "page"Parameterpage numberProgramnumberChannel numberswithin programstereo link indicator Chain elementidentifierDynamicscurve graphThresholdMetersDigital input /output meters(peak and average)Fig. 1.11.2 Front Panel (cont.)Getting Started Section 1QUANTUMQUANTUM User Manual 3
